In 2003, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, now in their 30s, filed a suit against Michael Jackson's estate claiming the singer began a long-running relationship with the two when they were just 7 and 10 years old.

The two, both appeared in the documentary alongside their families, accused Jackson of manipulating and sexually molesting them.

However, both of their cases were dismissed by the court in 2017.

The 233 minutes documentary divided into two parts comes from director Dan Reed, who already made similar films including The Pedophile Hunters and Three Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo Attacks.

Reed on making Leaving Neverland says:

"If there’s anything we’ve learned during this time in our history, it’s that sexual abuse is complicated, and survivors’ voices need to be listened to"

As a matter of fact, the documentary director believes the two men are strong for coming forward to share their stories they faced.

"I believe anyone who watches this film will see and feel the emotional toll on the men and their families and will appreciate the strength it takes to confront long-held secrets."

But, on the other hand, after the case became dismissed, representative of Michael addresses Robson and Safechuck, both being testified wrong under an oath that the two were never harmed in any way inappropriately by Jackson.
